Message from Owner

No sign of him for the past 5 days, we’re extremely worried. He’s skittish and usual timid around people he dosent know, so it’s very worrying he’s gotten lost. Would love to hear from anyone !

I am sorry your cat is missing. ♥️ Here are some suggestions that may help you find them: 🙏🤞🙏🤞 After doing a thorough search of your home/property inside and out, then go door knocking and approach your neighbors. Your cat will be closeby and most likely hiding in a neighbour's garden/yard. Go door knocking, at least 3-4 properties on either side of yours and across the road and street behind (especially behind your property). Speak to your neighbours and personally deliver a leaflet of your missing cat to them. Put up poster of your cat and place around your neighbourhood at least 1-2 streets on either-side of yours, and on shop windows, local supermarket, power poles, newsagents, service stations, police station, bus stops, anywhere a majority of people pass by and will see your poster. Please laminate or place in clear protective cover to prevent damage... Contact local vets, pounds and shelters. Post on other Facebook Lost pet/cat sites for more exposure. Your cat will be close by, from personal experience, one of my missing cat's was located at my old home couple of streets away. If you haven't already done so, make sure to report your cat missing with the microchip company where he/she microchip is registered, to prevent a stranger from changing ownership of someone's cat. The best advice I can offer is to go out every night and search for your missing cat after dark, as this is often when you'll have the most success. Call their name late at night or in the early hours of the morning, when everything is quiet and your cat can hear you more easily. Try going out between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., and take a strong torch with you, and a hot cooked chicken. If possible, go out twice during the night at different times. In many cases, lost cats are hiding very close-by, sometimes just next door or a few houses away. I hope you're reunited with your kitty soon ♥️❤️♥️😘

He may have been spooked by something or been curious and accidentally locked in somewhere. Sometimes cats can’t find their way home or are too scared, even close-by so you need to go and find them. Search your property and surrounds thoroughly during the day - up trees (cats can get stuck high up in a tree) under bushes, under your house in all nooks and crannies absolutely everywhere and use a torch. Ask your neighbours permission for at least up to ten houses away in every direction for YOU to check their gardens, their sheds, garages and under their houses as cats can easily get locked in by accident. Don’t rely on them to look as they won’t do as thorough a job as you. (A lady on another site heard a feint meow of her cat during the nighttime walks after 8 nights, it was locked in a near neighbour’s shed. Another found her cat locked in their neighbours roof!). Also and very importantly go out several times a night with a torch looking and calling around your garden and the streets. 10pm, midnight and 2 or 3am when it’s very quiet. Don’t go just once. When I looked for my cat he never meowed, I would have to spot him with the torch. He’s a ragdoll and sometimes I found him two streets away in a lane or someone’s front garden on the night he didn’t return! Perhaps take some cat biscuits and shake them or tap on a can or take a hot roast chicken from the supermarket. Use your normal voice. It’s important not to sound stressed. Spend at least half an hour to an hour looking each time and walk very, very slowly. I know it’s uncomfortable but it has to be done. The quicker you start the more chance of early success. Hearing your voice nearby will be an encouragement for him to come out of hiding and come home. It might take many nights before he’s brave enough to show himself. Don’t lose hope. Drop leaflets in letterboxes all around the neighbourhood. Door knock all the neighbours too. I’ve had two cats displaced at my house on separate occasions and I door knocked to find the owners who lived nearby (one diagonally over the back fence!). Cats can be only a few houses away or less and still not manage to find their way home. A lost cat in my town was living under a house, only five houses away from its home for months before it was found. Are you sure he’s not indoors? My Mum accidentally locked her cat in a cupboard for two days once! Regularly check the lost and found section of any local pound websites every three days. Good luck with your search for the beautiful kitty.

Missing cat? Let's find them! 🚨🐈 First, ask your neighbours to check their sheds and garages in case your kitty is locked up. You can also ask permission to look yourself, as familiar voices can coax them out. Don't forget to check under old houses on stumps and the fence line between properties. Cats can get stuck between buildings and fences, especially in new properties with close-together houses. Next, search your own home and yard thoroughly. Check cupboards, wardrobes, washing machines, and dryers where cats love to hide in dark, cozy corners. If it's cold outside, your cat might be seeking a heat source like fridge and freezer motors or stand-alone stoves. Don't forget to look up - trees, roofs, and storm drains are all potential hiding spots. If you think your cat might have been picked up, contact local shelters and pounds like Lost Dogs Home North Melbourne. Check online and ask if they've had a full-body scan, as microchips can be faulty. Notify your local council and vets in the area, and make sure your microchip details are up to date. Some other places to check include vacant houses, new constructions, and cars (engine, back of utes, and visiting tradies' vehicles). Don't rely solely on social media to find your pet - door knock, take flyers with a pic of your cat, and try early morning or late evening walks when it's quiet. Take a torch, dry food, and a cat carrier to secure your cat if found. Kittens are sneaky and love to hide in dark, secluded spots. Check under houses, sheds, and fence lines, as well as cars and visiting tradies' utes and trailers. If you've recently moved, your kitten might be hiding in their new surroundings. If you're near schools or apartment complexes, get permission to check the grounds, sheds, and storage areas. Leave some old clothing with your scent on it for bedding, and put up posters in communal spaces. Your cat might be trying to go back to its previous address, so let your old neighbours know to keep an eye out. Stay safe and thorough in your search, and don't give up hope!
